College As Told By 'Elf'

Sometimes smiling is your favorite, while other days you're a cotton headed ninny muggins...

At this point in the school year, I don't think anything can describe college as well as "Elf."

For starters, most of the morning is spent in the bathroom, pretending that you don't have to go to class. Actually, doing anything that means not getting ready for class. This includes questioning why you even scheduled a class before noon and crying about it.

And while breakfast should be the most important meal of the day, usually you just end up eating whatever you can find on your way out the door. Anything prepackaged and preferably chocolate will do.

The most comforting thing is knowing that everyone else is in the same boat, so as you sleepwalk to class you see tons of people you know. Sadly, being sleepy also makes you think that someone is waving to you across campus... When clearly they are not...

Also, this is test season, so cramming for finals is a must. Seriously, you have to study for finals.

You go to all of your classes and take notes. You really try to be a good student. Yet, when you go to the tests there's always one question that the professor told you not to worry about in class.

When you leave any test you're always always always hard on yourself. Most of the time the assumption is that you failed miserably.

But simultaneously, you're also so excited to be done with the tests and ready for the break!

Odds are after the test, you'll make plans with your friends. This post-finals time is truly freeing. In true college fashion, you make way too many plans that you probably won't actually complete. In fact, you'll probably just binge on Netflix, but externally you're like:

But before you get too excited, don't forget there's always next semester!

And if you've made it to the end of my article, I just have one thing to say to you:

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
